    Question for K or 1st grade teachers

    These are a couple of questions I might ask as she's reading (when she reads incorrectly): 1. Do the letters match the sounds? 2. Does it sound like language? If she has a hard time matching letters to sounds then I would work through those along side her.

    Mystery Reader Suggestions for 1st graders

    Leonardo the Terrible Monster by Mo Willems was always a big hit with my first graders. Margie Palatini writes lots of great funny books as well. Bad Boys, Sweet Tooth, and Piggie Pie were always books we would reread.

    AMC theatres question

    I've been to the Fork & Screen before. The tickets are more expensive- but you get a dining voucher for the difference. There are lots more food options than the regular concession stand. They have appetizers, entrees and dessert. You can also get the regular concessions. A waiter will get...

    Have you seen Wicked or Mamma Mia?

    I have seen both with my husband when they came to our area this past year. I thought Mamma Mia was a lot of fun and the storyline was not quite what I had expected it to be. My husband (who is NOT an ABBA fan) was surprised that he liked it as much as he did. We both LOVED Wicked. I really...

    Anyone own a hybrid vehicle?

    My husband has a Honda Civic Hybrid. It's a great car. We regularly get 40+ mpg. We bought it 2 years ago and it is the best decision we made in a car.

    Just got a Wii - please recommend a good game!

    My kids and I had a great time playing this game last week! It is a tad bit rude (burping and other mischievous behaviors) but lots of fun!:) It is also very easy for even a non-game player to play and win. Have fun with your Wii!

    Family of 5 - Where is the best way to stay at the Disney property hotels?

    I have a family of 5. Our first trip we stayed at POR with the trundle bed. It was nice. The trundle bed is definitely for a small person (child). The room is also a bit small. The resort was nice, but very spread out. Our next trip we stayed at AKL in a deluxe bunkbed room. It was very...

    teachers - how is your school's morale?

    The morale at our school isn't the greatest right now. I think the pressure from NCLB is one of many factors. I try to keep myself out of it by avoiding the negative conversations and trying to look at how far my students have come. I think it's always important to celebrate those successes...
